STIDS provides a forum for academia, government and industry to share the latest research on semantic technology
for defense, intelligence and security applications. Formerly known as Ontology for the Intelligence Community (OIC),
the conference is being broadened in scope to encompass a broad range of problems in defense, intelligence and security.
